ABOUT: Its strategic location on the Inside Passage makes it the major transportation hub for the Central Coast of BC. Bella Bella has had a precarious and isolated existence. The closing of coastal cannery towns and decreased need for coastal shipping reduced the importance of Bella Bella's port. Its fishing based economy is now extremely fragile and threatens this traditional way of life. However, the resumption of ferry services by BC Ferries and the introduction of an air link from Vancouver via Port Hardy have revived Bella Bella. 9. HISTORY: Founded between 1897 and 1903, Bella Bella is a First Nations Heiltsuk village located on Campbell Island, British Columbia. 10.
